Christianity in Denmark

Christianity is a prevalent religion in Denmark; in January 2023, 72.1%[1] of the population of Denmark were members of the Church of Denmark. According to a survey based on a sample 1,114, 25% of Danes believe Jesus is the son of God, and 18% believe he is the saviour of the world.[2] Aside from Lutheranism, there is a small Catholic minority, as well as small Protestant denominations such as the Baptist Union of Denmark and the Reformed Synod of Denmark.

Denmark has Lutheranism as the state religion,[3] as such its culture is heavily influenced by Christianity.
